When you leave your vehicle unattended, you must:

Set the parking brake.
Turn off the engine.
Lock the ignition and remove the ignition key.
All of the above.
Explanation

The provided instructions are all correct for leaving a vehicle unattended. Placing the vehicle in gear (if it has a manual transmission) or in ‘park’ (if it has an automatic transmission) ensures that the vehicle remains stationary and does not roll away. Turning off the engine, locking the ignition and removing the ignition key prevent unauthorized use of the vehicle.
